Enhancements to sequential key combos

Yeah that sounds like a great idea. Let me mull on this a bit and circle around with you in a day or so. Glad to hear you like the library 🍻

Well it's been more than a day or so 😅.

I've been thinking about how to do this and I think I'm going to add a new method to keystrokes called checkKeyComboSequenceIndex. It will return the sequence index of the combo - 0 if the combo is not active at all. For each sequence active within the combo the returned value will be incremented. So for a combo like g,o if g is pressed then the returned index will be 1. If then g is released and o is pressed the index will be 2. Once o is released the index will be 0 again.

If get a string representation of what parts of the combo are pressed simply use string split

const myCombo = 'g,o'
const myComboSquenceIndex = keystrokes.checkKeyComboSequenceIndex(myCombo)
const activePartOfCombo = myCombo.split(',').slice(0, myComboSequenceIndex).join(',')

Closing as checkKeyComboSequenceIndex was landed in v1.1.0. That said we can continue with this discussion still.
